Bluetooth headset voice dialing - XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps

Hey i just got a bt head set and when i push the main button it will only redial or end calls i can not get it to activate voice dialing on my x1. I dont think there is anything wrong on my bt head set i think i am missing a setting on my x1? any help

Hi,I had the same issues but after a lot of messing about I managed to get my Plansonic BT H/S working with voice activation. I used the MS voice software and I had to install a bluetooth interface gateway whos name eludes me but I can find it out if neccessary.All the info is on this forum its just spread over lots of different threads,and I found that even then I had to faff about with various setting to get it to put the audio through the H/S and not the speaker,so you can do it, but it has a tendency to just not work when you want it to so I just press buttons on the phone instead.If you want the gateway sw name get back to me.

Voice dialing with stock (wired) headset (WM6)

Looking for a way to hit the mic button on the wired headset that comes with the TyTn to dial a number with a voice tag. I am using the leaked official WM6 rom which has the cyberon voice dialer working. What I haven't been able to do is launch the voice dial using the button on the mike. Even AE button mapper cannot pick it up as a button to be configured.
To do my homework, I searched using 8525, headset button, config, etc. but a) I got hits for other phones (ba, etc) and b) got a lot of posts on how to set up bluetooth phones, which doesn't apply in this situation. I found this cab ba_wm5_voice_dialer.zip but it didn't install complaining about insufficient rights, which I had never seen on a pocket pc. Maybe because it's for WM5.
Any help or links to previous threads on this would be appreciated. Right now, I have to take the phone out of my pocket to dial, which kind of defeats the purpose. Many thanks in advance.
I have no idea whether this helps or not but I remember this as a big topic on the Wizard when it first came out and there was this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...highlight=voice+dial+headset+mic+button+wired I'd be interested to know if you get anywhere
Well, I tried those - thanks for the link. I get no feedback after I run the program whatsoever, so I guess it doesn't work. It does run though, since if you run it twice, it gives you energy levels- that much works, but the rest doesn't seem to.
I'm surprised dialing with the wired headset isn't supported out of the box since it's a part of the package, but oh well. I hope someone else has heard of something about this for the tytn.

Workarounds on the new Bluetooth Stack and PTT

Since HTC loves to give the community sleepless nights with duzent of troubleshootings, here a new task.
The TP2 has a Broadcom BT Stack installed... Okay a nice UI in comparison with the default Microsoft one.
BUT: I realy miss the PTT function.
Normaly you can create a shortcut inside the windows dir called SHORT_PTT.lnk or LONG_PTT.lnk for binding tasks to the PTT.
Or when You install MS VC you can access Programs or dial numbers via voice.
It could be that you have to change some values in the registry...
for example HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand string "Path" to "\Programme\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe"
I own a Jabra BT8040 and I realy love it... but without the PTT function it nearly gets useless if i have to pull out the Phone to make a call or look for my upcoming tasks. The reason why i'm buying a BT - Headset is to keep the Phone inside the case.
I now read about a "Maybe" solution I havent tested right now.
read more here
It will be enought if I'm able to bind the Ptt button on my headset to any Programm or Mortscript by holding or tap. (The double Tap feature to redial still works).
I allready called HTC for more Support but the "Hotline Guy" who btw wasn't that able to understand german language doesn't realy understood that the fact is not that MS VC doesn't work correctly but that the PTT function is disabled completly.
So all you junks like me out there let's get a workaround on that.
What's your value of the following registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand\VoiceCmdEnable
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTAGEXTModule
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand\VoiceCmdEnable
value="1"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTAGEXTModule
value="\Windows\btagext.dll"
after my last tryed fix ^^
I now reinstalled MS VC and my new Values are:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand\VoiceCmdEnable
value="1"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTAGEXTModule
value="\Programme\Voice Commander\vcbthag.dll"
but both doesn't work
how about uninstall MSVC and try Cyberon VC?
If still not working, make a full backup and put this dll to \Windows and change this in registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Au dioGateway\BTAGEXTModule
value="\Windows\OEMAGW.dll"
Soft reset and try again.
cyberon VC
I haven't found Cyberon VC supporting german language yet.
But Cyberon VC doesn't work eighter...
haven't tried the dll yet but but is useless if only english is supported.
Thanks for your replys
Hope it isn't true but it looks like (i have read it sommewhere on the web) voice composing over BTh wasn't possible due to the Widcom Stack. Having tryed many things and tweaks, nothing.
It is a big mistake from HTC to have not implemanted Voice command over BTh in thus a pro supposed device !

No, VC over BT did work on my P525 which use Widcom stack as well. It's probably HTC's engineer NEVER got BT working right
Widcomm Stack
That your BTH worked on your other device doesn't mean that it works on the Touch Pro 2 ... bet your device has an other version of the stack.
Looks like the PTT function is reserved for Broadcom or Widcomm devices only.
Or is totaly out of ordern...
This is a realy BIG MISTAKE from HTC... hope they change this in the next Roms.
I'm still in Mail contact with HTC about this.
Let you know if something changes...
I just got my tp2 today, saw it had a BC stack and I knew they messed something up.
PTT & BT headset is like the only thing I actually need BT wise and they broke it, on a pro phone. I guess every (legal) in-car user will be very disappointed about this, considering this should be a "pro" phone.
I can confirm PTT doesn't work with Cyberion Voice Speed Dial nor MSVC. Also, the usual registry settings HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth are there, but changing them doesn't seem to have any impact as the BC stack should(!) handle them. I had a quick look through the widcomm stack settings in the registry but couldn't find any obvious settings for PTT
Something weird:
If I don´t set up a data connection to my carrier, the link to my bluetooth car kit works perfectly, meaning that I can answer calls and hang up using the button on the steering wheel.
Once I set up a connection, I can only answer and hangup using the buttons on the telephone. I any case I can listen and talk using the car kit.
Any ideas of how to solve this puzzle?
Edit: new finding: If set up a connection but data connection is off, everything works fine. When data connetion is on, then it doesn´t work.
Any Ideas?

HTC's respond to "the bluetooth voice dial function"

The touch pro2 can't carry out the voice speed dial function with my bluetooth headset.
tap the call handling button on the headset can not make anything happen. Neither by press and hold the button.
The only function still remain with the sony-ericsson HBH-DS970 is double tap the call handling button on the headset to re-dial the last number.
The voice speed dial function is very useful when your hands is busy, such as driving. What can I do now?
I have two bluetooth headset, one is sony-ericsson HBH-DS970 and the other is SIEMENS HHB-750.
The software I use is cyberon Voice Speed Dial V1.2.
The following is an answer from HTC:
"I do not know how you have got Cyberon installed as it is not instaled on the device by default.
I therefore cannot give you any support as the devices do not have any voice command software installed out of the box.
best regards,
HTC Europe Support"
I can't have anymore words on this.
Correct it doesn't work There are a number of threads about this around here.
I use Microsoft Voice command and have to (long) press the send key on the phone then it kicks in through the Bluetooth car kit. The general theory is this is a side effect of the change in Bluetooth stack made on this phone, I'm sure we'll see a fix, but probably not until we start seeing cooked ROMs.
Gordon
All you can do is to change the settings for the Send button to launch CVSD when you hold it, but for doing this with your headset's button, unfortunately you'll have to wait... for another ROM...
all the best
Reporting in from Canada here... after reading a couple of threads about issues with bluetooth voice dial, I got concerned and tried it this evening with my Jabra BT3030 and Telus TP2. Voice dial using the included MS Voice Command software works properly when I press the voice dial button on the BT3030. So... the problem isn't universal; we have at least some bluetooth devices out there that work properly with voice dialing on a TP2.
Hope that helps,

Would you please list some detail information,such as type number, of the bluetooth devices which work perfectly on voice dial?
I seached on this forum and many other chinese forum, almost all of them report the voice dial can't be launch for the call handling button on the bluetooth device.
Thanks in advance.

Hi net_walker,
I'm not sure if I correctly followed your question, but if you're asking for the model number of bluetooth devices that seem to work with the TP2, I gave that in my original post. It is the Jabra brand, model "BT3030" that works correctly for me on my Telus TP2. The basic web page for the model is here:
http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Jabra/na-us/Headsets/Pages/JabraBT3030.aspx?productfamilytab=Details
On that website, they list it as the model BT3030, with what I believe is an extended specific model number of "(100-93030000-60)".
Hope that is helpful,
--VelJharig
mmmh ! Very interesting !
At first time, i've thought for a BDR tweack to solve the problem.
Now it sounds like it is radio Rom dependant...

In the forum, i'v seen somebody who had posted the Telus TP2 Sys and OEM's. I'm dowloading it and trying to analyse the OEM concerned with Ms Voice Command. Hope it can help us to solve the prob.

I'd be that person. If you need any other details regarding file info from the device, just let me know.
Thanks for your share.
Because at this moment we didn't have an HardSPL from our dear Olinex Team (hope they do there home work (lol)) to make a cooked rom, i'm looking for something like OEM to CAB to test the OEM into my TP2 and maybe solve the problem for all of us who can't use Bth button to make a voice call.

Hi, everybody,
Did someone know some other bluetooth headsets work with Touch Pro2 to carry out the Voice dial function,except this one "Jabra BT3030" ?
Yes, I have the Tmobile TP2 and the Bluetooth voice dial function works with the MSVC that came with the phone. There is a 5-7 seconds wait until the microphone activates. So after I hold down the call button on the ear piece for few seconds to activate voice command, I have to wait till I hear a second sound that tells me the phone is now listening. Other than this, it works just fine.
Its an old plantronic bluetooth ear piece, dont remember the model number, but its the one with silver stripes down the length of the device on the sides. Its in my car, I will check later and add that if anybody needs the number.
My Plantronics headset can call voicedial the same way it did on my Kaiser - a long press of the "call" button.

Hmmm, very strange.
I have a Plantronics Discovery 925 myself and it's supose to be one in the winner team of Plantronics, but still nothing
And I have to say that it works just perfect with Touch Cruise, Diamond and HD.
Not with this one. You're sure you didn't done anything to your phone regarding this?
all the best
Nope - one of the first things I checked when I got the phone, it worked right out of the box before I started hacking on the registry and such.

I can confirm that issue on the T-Mobile Touch Pro 2. It is a VERY long time to wait for MSVC to start listening. I wish there was a way to put the standard Bluetooth stack on here so that Voice Command would work better.
I use a variety of Bluetooth headset devices; BlueAnt S1 car kit, BlueAnt Interphone (motorcycle helmet kit), Nextlink G5, Motorola 850 Stereo headphones... and all have the same slowness for activating MSVC.
I have a MOTOROKR™ T505 and if I hold the button down it'll do last number redial but I have to hold the dial key on the phone down to get Cyberon to listen.
Can't use MSVC as it won't understand me. Lot's of humans have this problem too so it's no surprise
Anyone get anywhere with this ?
Is it fixed in 6.5 or are there any ROMs with a fix cooked in ?
I have the same problem with my SE bluetooth
I have a Tilt2 (wm 6.5) stock with a Motorola H17 and voice command works fine. About 2-3 sec after headset button push and MSVC is listening.

[Q] Unable to fix echo problem with SIP after researching board

I have a qtek 8310 smartphone brick style nontouchscreen using a updated 6.5 standard, sleuth's voip cab that installs voip and adds internet calling into phone settings, KaiserVOIP to input my sip server details, and a custom cab file that replaces the ipdialplan. I can call out fine, but I get this echo problem that is insane to hear on the receivers end. I can also hear my own echo too.
Now the only audio routing software that actually works on my tornado phone is audioswitch. I am unable to install audioroute. With audioswitch, I can plug in my wired headset which I dont prefer, but when I use it, there is no sound coming out of my mic. I can hear perfectly fine though.
I tried using Fring, without audioswitch, in a test call inside fring's app, I can talk and hear myself fine. But when Im talking to an actual person through SIP, they hear echos. Same thing if I used the windows mobile SIP and called a google voice # and leave a message to test my mic, it actually sounds fine and no echo which is so odd to me.
I went through 100s of threads on the forum, but cant find a solution because a lot of topic hijacking that doesnt have much to do with the SIP mic problem itself. As a frustrated member, that is about to slam dunk my phone into the toilet, I would like to see if anyone be kind of enough to help me out if you have find a solution that works.
I like to use SIP without having to connect my wired headset, and bt headset, just like any other normal phone call.

[Q] Desire HD & Voice Dial over BT Headset

Hi there,
I've searched this great forum for this piece of information and haven't found it, so here goes:
I was about to buy a Desire HD and then I read several users reporting absence of voice dialing over a bluetooth headset. I have to be sure about this, because it would be a deal breaker for me. Apart from this the DHD seems to be a device that fits my needs perfectly.
Hope you guys can help me out.
Thanks for your help in advance
best regards
André
it does do voice dialing over bluetooth with android 2.2 and up, hope that's useful for you.
thanks for answering
I heard that Froyo solved the issue, but that there was still a problem with the Desire HD regarding this feature. could you just confirm that it works. do you have the dhd and tested it yourself? Hope you don't mind my asking, but I don't want to buy a USD 500 phone and find out that this very important feature for me doesnt work. So could you kindly tell me if your info is based on your personal experience with it?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
i am also very curious about this question. I was searching the internet and did not find information about how to get this feature to work. It is not so important for me, as for my father (he owns desire 2.2 fw), but i will also appriciate it. It`s mostly needed in car and it`s quite dangerous without it, i think you know what i am talking about. Thank you for your answers.
I tried voice dialing using Google's Android Voice Actions which worked. However, I did not use bluetooth headset.
I understand there is another app that does voice dialing too (became free from USD$10) which name I cannot recall now.
I believe these can do the job you require.
*Edit* The name of the other app is Vlingo. You can try it out.
just tried Google Voice Search with my BT headset (Plantronics 975) and long-pressing the button didn't get me anywhere...
let's see if Vlingo works
if anyone has a solution it would be very appreciated, since having to tap the phone while driving completely misses the point of using a bluetooth headset in the car.
best regards
André
I have a 10 day old desire hd, it does indeed come with a voice dialer (cyberon voice commander) - at least the telus version of the phone does.
I've not had issues with getting the voice dialing to work...
BUT, after much troubleshooting, I have found that whe the cyberon voice commander app is running, the phone's external speaker volume becomes much quieter - the result: it can be difficult to hear your phone ring in an environment that is not extremely quiet.
the fix: force close the voice commander.
I'm currently in search of a replacement voice dialer app to replace it with
Revolution HD 3.0 is based on Froyo 2.2.1 and I am not able to dial via BT.
There is no response to BT button!
Froyo 2.2 should solve this problem. Should.... In my case this is still issue.
ps. My BT is Plantronics 975
Vlingo does not work with BT Headset long-press button, but it's kind of a workaround. Very, VERY big mistake on behalf of HTC in not making handsfree BT headset voice dialing work, at least until now. I've been escalated in the HTC support, but up to now the only thing they told me is that i works with the plantronics 220. I asked them why it doesn't work with Plantronics 975, since it is their top-of-the-line headset and am waiting for an answer.
If this doesn't get fixed soon it'll be a dealbreaker for me.
Hope someone has a clue as to how to solve this.
best regards
André

it has the voicedialer.apk which works along side with google voice actions (does not replace it) and allows you to voice dial with a long press of the bluetooth button.
I installed it this morining, works great. It is included in LeeDroid Rom.

Thanks a lot. Will try it later this evening Does my DHD have to be rooted in order to use it?
Vlingo was working rather well will bt heaset long button press until the update to 3.0. now I have to interact with the screen, which defeats Voice Dialing with BT headset for me.
Does anyone have another solution which works well for BT Headset Voice Dialing?
Best regards
André
I'm having problems getting voice dialing to work with the bluetooth headset as well. I've tried both RCMix3D Runnymede 1.4 and Android Revolution 6.1.1. It was very difficult to get the headset connect and it won't reconnect automatically. Further, the voice dialing app was missing from one of the ROMs and when bluetooth voice dialer starts up on the other one, it freezes the phone and you have to pull the battery which you know is a nightmare on this phone. Note that bluetooth will work when the phone is used to do the dialing but I need to be able to initiate this from the headset so it is truly hands-free to satisfy safe driving laws.
Does anyone have bluetooth voice dialing working on their Desire HD where it is invoked from a tap on the bluetooth device? Please post which ROM you are using and any special tricks required to set it up.
Thank you.
As a followup, I installed LeeDroid to try that out. It is still difficult to connect to the headset and reconnect automatically. However, once it is connected, handsfree bluetooth dialing works!
Can anyone tell me what needs to be fixed to make the BT connection work properly?
